What standards does the
NIH National Library of Medicine apply to "Depositor-Supplied
Synonyms" in PubChem documents? Let's use "grape sugar" as
an example.
A quick search on Google
for grape sugar has numerous erroneous and legitimate definitions for the
source of this sugar. It appears that the National Library of Medicine
has opted for using the erroneous definitions for inclusion in PubChem documents.
CRITICAL REMINDER: It is impossible for dextrose
(corn sugar manufactured from cornstarch) to be found naturally in any
food/drug/biologic product. Dextrose is corn sugar that is ADDED TO these
products. Therefore, it is impossible for corn sugar (dextrose) to
be naturally present in grapes/grape sugar.
Does the public have the
right to request the "source" of the "Depositor-Supplied
Synonym" from the National Library of Medicine for "grape sugar"
that is listed in PubChem CID 79025?
I have personally supplied
the National Library of Medicine with the Code of Federal
Regulation 21CFR184.1857 which documents that dextrose is corn sugar.
However, corn sugar is not included in the list of "Depositor-Supplied
Synonyms" on either PubChem CID 79025 or PubChem CID 66370.
Conclusion:
Based on this documentation,
it is my personal opinion that the National Library of Medicine is complicit in
propagating the false narrative about the source of dextrose (corn sugar
manufactured from cornstarch) on behalf of the corn industry with no regard for
the safety of corn-allergic consumers and patients.
